Inclinometry Output Format

In March 1999 the inclinometry data acquisition system was expanded to read in not just the 3 channels (X,Y,T) from each of the three original inclinometers (T, L and R), but also 3 channels from the Spare inclinometer, located at that time on one of the radial arms, plus data from two strain gauges (G1, G2), measuring loads on the track at (true) azimuth ~56 degrees (under the middle of track segment #6).

This gives 14 output channels, explicitly :

   Ch #   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10  11  12  13  14
    aka   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   A   B   C   D   E
         TX  TY  TT  LX  LY  LT  RX  RY  RT  SX  SY  ST  G1  G2

A header needs to be added to the data files. This is done when create_cw_fileformat.sh is run on the raw inc file from kolea. This program takes the raw inclinometry file shown above and splits it into clockwise and counter-clockwise files adding the appropriate header to each.

Note: The last line of the raw file will ave been taken at the 'park' position of az=177.77 degs. This line is automatically deleted when the script above is run.

The software in my Hilo unix account (/home/hthomas/pointing/progs) is then compatible with this data file structure.
